Diet Trials : Paul McKenna

So I sat with anticipation for another session with Paul McKenna on Sky One. This prgramme aimed to help people get over the problem they may have with food in terms of comfort eating and eating unnecessarily due to boredom, stress or frustration. It was to deal with cravings and being fixated about particular foods. […]

The second chapter of Paul McKenna’s book, “I Can Make You Thin”, goes on to explain in more details the 4 main principles that were discussed on the show last Monday.
To remind you, the secrets to success and to lose weight are, to Eat When You’re Hungry, Eat What you Want, Eat Consciously and When […]

I can’t quite believe that the first week on the Paul Mckenna diet is nearly over, it’s now Day 6. Normally on a diet, and most recently it has been the Atkin’s diet, I have found that the first week is normally the hardest. This week has been surprisingly enjoyable and relatively easy. It certainly […]

Now one thing that I will need to sort out are the weekends. It’s been fine during the week when you have to get up to go to work, as I have found that reasonably easy. Plus you don’t have a well stocked kitchen to keep nipping into.
As I was up late, breakfast was […]

So it’s now Saturday and Day 5 on my new diet, or should that be the start of my new approach to eating, as it is not to be classed as a diet as such.
The morning didn’t get off to a great start, as at 2am I was woken up by my three year old […]

Four days in and I still feel very inspired by the theory that this really could make a difference to my life. So far throughout the week, since I signed up to the Paul Mckenna website for this big experiment, I have been getting daily emails to keep me on track.
They help to remind me […]

Paul Mckenna in this chapter helps the reader understand why they have problems losing weight and there are three main reasons, emotional eating, obsessive dieting and having a brain that has been programmed to over eat for a number of reasons. It goes into detail about why some people are naturally thin and can eat […]

I have been so inspired over the past few days that I ordered the Paul McKenna book from Amazon on Day 2. It arrived today and what a read. I will be posting up the various chapters as I get through them and share my thoughts on them. It looks like the book will follow […]

Thursday’s are normally the day that we get a babysitter to look after the kids and myself and my wife go out for a meal or go to the pub. Normally we will combine both and have a meal at the pub. I have my local pub in town which we have been going to for a […]

It was no use hiding the scales.
The temptation was too great. Every diet that I have been on I have always obsessed about whether through the night I have miraculously lost a few pounds.
I even was that curious that I went and got the scales from the wardrobe and jumped on them, feeling like I […]
